Hawaiian Ti, Cordyline

This picture was great.  I think it is Cordyline terminalis var. Hawaiian Compacta.   Or what might be referred to as a dwarf, purple Ti.  A compact yet vigorous variety, with leaves that are tightly compacted together like a plume. Leaves short to 4" to 2" wide, color dark pink to burgundy purple. Great Ti for areas that don't need lots of room. 

I think this is a great choice for adding a year round punch of color to any outdoor space, and the fabulous inflorescence in November gives you something special.   Easy to propogate from cuttings.
